Biking & Walking in S.C.

On September 23, 2014, the City Council approved the Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update that gives a comprehensive overview of the state of bicycling and walking in the city and provides direction for future investments in bicycle and pedestrian facilitaddies and programs.

The plan contains recommendations for:

Additions and improvements to bikeways, trails, and pedestrian facilities;

Land uses that promote walking and cycling;

Ways to improve access to transit; and

Educational and encouragement programs.

Primary goals of the plan are to alleviate the current traffic congestion in the city and to encourage future decreases in motor vehicle use by making it easier, safer and more enjoyable to bicycle and walk as a general means of transportation. The plan will also encourage transit use and address equestrian needs.
